The one time I have used a theory at work that has stood out the most to me would be trying to explain all the work we have to accomplish during the whole job instead of focusing on the part of that job that needed to be done that particular day. I pulled my dad aside one day and asked if we could just describe the work one day at a time instead of cramming the employees with work information for the full month of work. At first he just said that in order to complete the job the worker must now every detail for the whole job, but eventually I gave him an example of when you’re in school and you need to study for a test most people take all week to study because your brain can gain more information that way, but when people cram information in their head the day before a big test they usually fail that test because they put their brain into an overload state and cant process that much information at once .He finally agreed with me after that example and decided to give it a shot. I believe my theory has a mix of 3 research methods; Descriptive and correlational research, archival research, and naturalistic observation. I believe this because I got my theory from a previously situation I experience in my life that I studied the outcome of what happened when you crammed your brain full of too much information at once. But after I talked my dad into letting me try my way, I saw back and watched the jobsite flow better than......

Evolutionary Theories Evolutionary theories of motivation focus on motives that affect the success of growth over time. Computers and cell phones have changed the way we interact with people. Here I gave examples of how technology has evolved over time and changed the way we live.

Summary of resource: | Mindfulness Meditation is getting to a calm state blocking all other thoughts out and becoming aware of the moment you are in. The best way to achieve this is by finding a quite dim area and sitting on the floor with your legs crossed and back straight concentrating on the area a few inches in front of you. It is suggested to keep the sessions between 10-20 minutes but trying to do it as many times throughout the day as possible or needed. | Christian meditation is about seeking God as a believer. It is growing spiritually by using scriptures in the Bible to get insight and putting it into daily actions and thoughts. Christian meditation would also practice prayer. |
